No LB has made Graham look average in I don't know how long but that was some excellent play, just like last year against Witten.

Graham is still the best TE in the league. He just ran into a good defense.

This feels like Weeks 13-16 last year.

He is vastly underrated on this D.
I also like how he has been blowing up screens all year.

Massively underrated OLB that's for sure, seems like everyone thinks of him as average (compared to the rest of the NFL) but games like this make me happy we got him.

Player of the game for me. He was just everywhere. So good in coverage

Wright needed to step up and play the best game of his career tonight. He did just that.

I thought KJ had slipped a bit this year. Last night made me believe he's back. I think he just needed some time to get used to his new position.

Receiving Rec Yds Avg TDs

J. Graham 3 42 14 1


He did get a TD, but that was about it for the game...

Edit: stupid table didn't come out right upon post. Oh well, you get the idea. KJ is a "baaaad maaaan".

I thoroughly enjoyed Graham's TD and Wagner talking to him - my guess is he said "enjoy it, that's all you're getting"

Pretty sure Wagner was pointing out that his little TD celebration still had the Saints behind by 10.

Graham is good. But a bit soft.

Wright was in Graham's face all night, to the point where when Graham finally got a catch and run downfield, he went out of his way to seek contact with Wright and ended out getting less yards. It was pretty humorous.

I was impressed by Wright's downfield coverage of Graham, but also his coverage and attention to Sproles in the flats.

Sproles is one of the toughest players to cover out of the backfield in the NFL. He's fast, shifty and knows how to make guys miss.

Jimmy Graham is a TE in your program only, not on the field. He's an insanely athletic, nightmare of a match up WR, but he is NOT a TE.

Ah, that must have been when he lowered his shoulder and initiated contact with the tackler ~in the opposite direction of where he was traveling~ instead of continuing forward. I wondered what was up with that play. :)

Good post 46. No one else has mentioned how well the Hawks D shut Sproles down. They did so completely. A huge factor for sure.
